Cool front panel for DIY projects -part1


After long break i am back again ..this time for all hobbyists,DIY people I am adding some tricks for
making a front panel .

Step1: Backlit Logo

Devices like amplifier , D/a converter need a logo panel ...why to put poor looking
popping out led,with a paper sticker below?
Here we go :

1.Print 2 copies of same logo text on butter paper ,letters white,rest black
2.stick them together,to make dark areas dark
3.put smd (surface mount) behind the panel


Result? See the pic above... If you still wanna do a lil more fancy designs.. add a weavy led circuit
with IC 4017..may look even cooler!
